    Major General Aleman made his choice:

    Evacuate Konlavev!

    In fact, this cannot be said to be a wrong choice. Under such an unstoppable German attack, holding on forcefully will only cause the 8th Royal Irish Regiment to suffer more losses.  Retreating can protect the living forces to the greatest extent.

    But this retreat completely disrupted Montgomery¡¯s plan:

    Gain time to defend Kantara!

    The German army successfully captured Konlavev. Now, they can launch a direct attack on Kantara!

    In the second round of the contest, Rommel won one round beautifully.

    Montgomery was well aware of the urgency of the current situation. He rushed to the retreating 8th Royal Irish Regiment overnight. In addition to ordering the troops to stop retreating, he also summoned Major General Jasan in the harshest terms.

    Before the two of them could argue, General Montgomery said in a serious manner:

    ¡°The responsibility for the failure lies entirely with the withdrawal of the 21st Indian Brigade¡±

    Major General Jasan became anxious, and he began to loudly defend himself, but Montgomery did not listen at all. Instead, he directly deprived Major General Jasan of his post and had him taken to Cairo for further investigation.

    Montgomery also knew the difficulties faced by Major General Jasan. How could the Indians withstand the invincible Germans with their strength?  But in the current situation, he had to sacrifice one person to stabilize the collapsing morale of the army.

    And Major General Jasan is this victim

    Sure enough, after Major General Jasan was escorted away, Major General Aleman¡¯s face showed gratitude.

    "Now, our situation is very passive." Montgomery's expression was extremely serious: "The German attack is fast and fierce. If they are allowed to continue to advance like this, Kantara's defense will not have time to finish General Aleman. I need you to turn around and attack now."  Germans, do you have the courage?"

    At this time, Major General Aleman¡¯s heart was filled with gratitude to General Montgomery. He said loudly without hesitation for even a second: ¡°General Montgomery, I will lead my soldiers to fight to wash away the shame!¡±

    "Very good, General Alleman!" Montgomery said with satisfaction: "The Germans will not be wary. I think your U-turn will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Germans!"

    "Yes, General!" Aleman responded loudly, then turned and left.

    The retreating Irish regiment stopped retreating. Under the leadership of General Alleman, they launched a new assault on the pursuing Germans.

    Looking at General Alleman¡¯s back, Montgomery sighed softly.

    He knew very well that with the strength of the Irish regiment, it was impossible to defeat the Germans. On the contrary, the entire army was likely to be destroyed.  But this is his only option at this time.

    Use the sacrifice of the Irish to gain maximum time for Kantara

    Sometimes in war, forced sacrifices must be made

    Sure enough, just as Montgomery predicted, the advancing German army did not expect that the enemy would turn around and attack.

    The German troops at the front quickly fell into chaos under the sudden attack of the Irish.

    About one battalion of German troops were attacked wildly by the Irish and suffered very heavy losses.  If it were not for the fact that the German commander had battlefield experience that the Irish could not match, perhaps all the Germans in this battalion would have died here.

    The Irish are absolutely desperate.  Ignoring the enemy's fierce fire, they launched a frantic assault on the German army.

    The German vanguard battalion, like a small boat in the sea, may sink at any time. But when they were most critical, the German follow-up troops successfully arrived on the battlefield under the personal command of Marshal Rommel!

    The situation has been stabilized!

    However, the Irish did not stop their attack at all, and continued to launch attacks persistently and tenaciously.

    Rommel saw at a glance why the enemy was doing this: "The enemy's commander was taking advantage of the sacrifices of these people to delay our progress. But when we arrived in Kantara, the enemy's fortifications could already be initially constructed.  "

    However, although he saw the enemy's intention, he did not have a good solution.  If you want to reach Kantara, you must deal with these almost crazy Irish people in front of you.

    Rommel invested all the troops he could, and while blocking the Irish attack, he launched a counterattack against the enemy.

    And Major General Alleman was completely desperate to repay General Montgomery's kindness.

    The combat effectiveness unleashed by such a general is quite astonishingof

    Riding in his command vehicle, Major General Aleman constantly appeared in the most dangerous positions on the battlefield, bravely commanding his soldiers to fight the enemy risking their lives with the greatest passion for sacrifice.

    The invincible German army on the battlefield is now in big trouble

    The fighting enthusiasm displayed by the enemy is unimaginable.  Many positions had clearly been broken through by the Germans, but the survivors were still fighting the enemy like crazy until there was no more Irish on this position.

    Rommel held the telescope and kept shaking his head. He had to admit that Montgomery succeeded.

    Even if the entire Irish regiment was destroyed, Montgomery still achieved success

    Now, the British must be racing against time to repair the fortifications in Kantala, right?

    "Subsequently, the main force of the 15th Armored Division arrived on the battlefield, and Rommel put this elite force on the battlefield without any hesitation.

    The wings of the Irish Corps were cut off, the center of the Irish Corps was breached, and the Irish Corps was surrounded

    But Major General Aleman didn¡¯t seem to see all this at all. He had only one purpose:

    "Buy as much time as possible for General Montgomery. For this reason, he is ready to die here."

    The attacks became more and more fierce, the fighting became more and more cruel, and this place simply turned into a terrible hell on earth.

    The Irish regiment fought less and less, and the casualties became more and more heavy.  When battle reports continued to be sent to Aleman, Aleman only said calmly: "I am still here, and we can continue to fight."

    Enough, this sentence is enough

    With this tenacious enemy, the German commanders also had a huge headache.  Victory was in their hands, but the German army still failed to take this final step.

    At 4 o'clock in the morning, the situation finally improved. Most of the defensive positions of the Irish Corps fell into the hands of the Germans. There were not many Irish people who could continue to resist.

    But Rommel knew he had lost this time:

    The British won what was most important to them in defending Cairo:

    time!

    In this duel between famous generals and famous generals, Rommel won the first game and Montgomery won the second game.

    The contest between the two sides will continue and will only become more and more cruel.

    The last moment for the Irish regiment has arrived.

    The small number of troops were surrounded by groups, and a large number of German troops drove past their flanks and penetrated into Kantara.

    By this time, Major General Alleman knew that there was nothing he could do and he could no longer continue to snipe the Germans.

    ¡°Moreover, he also lost the possibility of breaking out.

    At 4:30, Alleman contacted the Germans and asked for surrender. Rommel accepted General Alleman's surrender request.

    At 4:45, the last bit of the Irish laid down their weapons and stopped resisting.

    At this point, the 8th Royal Irish Regiment is finished.  The vast majority of them died on the battlefield, a large part of the remaining people surrendered, and only a few succeeded in breaking through.

    Rommel did not feel the joy of victory. This was not a victory. Montgomery successfully used the sacrifice of the Irish to delay the German advance.

    However, when he saw Major General Aleman, he showed enough respect for this tenacious opponent: "General Aleman, for your hard resistance and your sacrifice spirit that successfully bought you time, I  Congratulations to you.¡±

    "Thank you, Marshal Rommel." Major General Aleman could not see any defeater's frustration on his face: "I don't expect my troops to defeat you, but I have tried my best to achieve this point.  "

    "No one has done a better job than you, no one." Rommel sighed: "Originally, by this time we had arrived at Kantala and launched an attack on the enemy, but now we are still on the way to Kantala.  , precious time has been lost.¡±

    Major General Aleman smiled lightly, feeling proud in his heart.

    After a while, he asked: "Marshal Rommel, do you think you can capture Kantara and Cairo?"

    "what is your opinion?"

    "I don't think so. General Montgomery is fully prepared."

    "I cannot agree with this, General Aleman." A smile suddenly appeared on Rommel's face: "You don't know what happened in Cairo, and you don't know who is directing all the battles. But  I believe that this time we will be able to capture Cairo and be defeated by the enemy in the African battlefield.The profit is firmly in his own hands.  "

    Major General Alleman didn¡¯t know where Rommel got this confidence.

    He believed that Montgomery would have a way, and besides, he also had the assistance of General Alexander, so Cairo would not be lost.

    But General Aleman would not have thought that the man commanding the battle in Cairo was named Ernst Alexson von Brahm!

    Since the first time they set foot on the battlefield, the German God of War has never tasted the taste of failure.

    But these are not important. What is important is that in addition to Ernst Brahm, there are two people who are engaged in a battle of life and death, a duel between famous generals:

    Rommel versus Montgomery!

    Their duel may be remembered many years from now.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
